SWC bowl picture rounds out
Longhorns close
to easy Cotton
FORT WORTH (AP) — The
Texas Longhorns are just a game
away, a very difficult game away,
from their first Cotton Bowl in
seven years.
Seventh-ranked Texas has the
hard rock duty of playing the
Baylor Bears in Waco.
The Longhorns have lost seven
of their last eight meetings with
Grant Teaffs teams in Waco, in
cluding the last three.
Texas has been on what Long
horn players call a “shock the na-
uon” tour and it would be a mild
shock for the 'Horns to handle
Baylor in Floyd Casey Stadium
where Texas hopes have crum
bled in the past.
"We’re going there with our
heads on straight,” said Texas
linebacker Brian Jones. "It's
going to be nice going to Baylor,
getting the win and ordering the
rings.”
Baylor still retains an outside
shot of playing in the Cotton
Bowl.
Texas, which whipped Texas
Christian 38-10 on Saturday,
doesn’t have a conference loss
while Baylor and Texas A&M
each have a loss and a tie.
If Baylor beats Texas on Satur
day, then the Bears would have to
depend on the Aggies doing like
wise on Dec. 1 against Texas in
Austin. The Aggies are out of the
Cotton Bowl mix because any ties
with Baylor would still send the
Bears to the Cotton Bowl because
they haven’t been to the New
Year’s Day classic since 1984 and
A&M last appeared in 1988.
Baylor defeated Rice 17-16
and A&M downed Arkansas 20-
16 on Saturday.
The Southwest Conference
winner will play the Miami Hurri
canes, who have an agreement to
sign with the Cotton Bowl on
Nov. 24. Should Miami keep win
ning, the Cotton Bowl could have
a national championship game on
its hands.
“We’ve been grinning about
it,” said Cotton Bowl executive
vice president Jim Brock. “Miami
is a marquee name in college foot
ball and, don’t forget, is the de
fending national champion. It’s
g fing to be their first Cotton
owl and we anticipate they’ll
sign on Saturday.”
However, Brock has taken
pains not to openly root for
Texas to win the SWC host spot
although if the ’Homs do it could
give the Cotton Bowl a blockbus
ter game.
“We’ll be happy to have either
Texas, Baylor or A&M as our
host,” Brock said. “All three insti
tutions have some great fans.”

cord with four touchdown passes
as the Longhorns stayed on
course for the Cotton Bowl.
Gardere started slowly and at
one point in the second period
coach David McWilliams inserted
backup quarterback James Saxton
into the game.
“I don’t know why I'm always
so slow to get going, it’s just some
thing that happens,” Gardere
said. “I’m glad coach McWilliams
stuck with me.”
Gardere said he didn’t mind
being yanked.
“Playing as bad as I was, I
thought I could use the time on
the sideline to see some of the
coverages and talk with (offen
sive) coach (Lynn) Amedee,” he
said. “It really did help.”
Gardere added: “Coach Ame
dee told me it was ugly but it was
a win and that's what counts. I
guess I had a good day if you con
sider I had four touchdown
passes but I don’t think my over
all performance was very good,”
TCU coach Jim Wacker said
Texas proved it deserves a higher
ranking.
“I definitely think they’re one
of the country’s top five teams,”
Wacker said.
In other games on Saturday,
Texas Teen ripped hapless
Southern Methodist 62-7 and
Houston quarterback David
Klingler threw an NCAA record
11 touchdown passes in an 84-21
victory over NCAA Division II
foe Eastern Washington.
“This whole game was the
worst this team has played since
I’ve been here,” SMU coach For
rest Gregg said. “I can’t think of
anything m this game that was
good except it was finally over.”
Baylor, still in the running for
the Cotton Bowl, clinched at least
an Independence Bowl berth
with the victory over Rice.
If the Aggies finish second in
the SWC, they will appear in the
Holiday Bowl in San Diego
against Western Athletic Confer
ence champion Brigham Young.
Arkansas lost its seventh con
secutive SWC game as it fell to the
Aggies.
In other games on Saturday,
Arkansas is at SMU and TCU is at
Texas A&M.

Manley reinstated
by commissioner
HERNDON, Va. (AP) — NFL
commissioner Paul Tagliabue re
instated Dexter Manley on Monday,
one year after he was banned for
substance abuse. The Washington
Redskins immediately placed the de
fensive end on waivers and three
teams expressed interest in signing
him.
The NFL, in a statement released
from New York, said Manley must
avoid drug involvement and partici
pate in a “structured suppport pro
gram” to remain in the league.
The league’s decision was accom
panied by a statement from the
Redskins saying they decided to
place the nine-year pro on waivers.
As the Redskins’ all-time sack leader
with 97, Manley was in the final year
of his contract with the Redskins.
“We are pleased that the commis
sioner has reinstated Dexter Manley,
thus giving Dexter a second chance
to prove himself to his football fans.
We wish him well,” the Redskins’
statement said.
The statement from Tagliabue’s
office said Manley would be eligible
to begin practicing today but will not
be eligible to play in a game until
Dec. 9.
The teams interested in Manley
are Phoenix, the Los Angeles Rams
and Philadelphia.
“I would like to thank commis
sioner Tagliabue for approving my
petition for reinstatement,” Manley
said in statement. “I am most grate
ful to the commissioner for the faith,
trust and confidence he has placed
in me. I will make every effort never
to violate that trust.”
Manley’s attorney, Bob Woolf,
said he heard that five teams are in
terested in signing his client. He
named the Cardinals, Rams, Los An
geles Raiders, Miami Dolphins and
Denver Broncos.
The 31-year-old Manley was
banned from the league a year ago
for violating the league’s substance
abuse policy for a third time.
He tested positive for cocaine use
a few days after the Redskins’ 37-24
loss to the Los Angeles Raiders on
Oct. 29, 1989. Shortly afterward, he
confessed in an emotional news con
ference that he had “messed up” and
used drugs.
Tagliabue made the decision after
meeting with Manley and Woolf last
Friday in New York and reviewing
medical and drug treatment records.
Some of those records were sent to
the NFL as late as Monday morning.
Tagliabue’s “decision on reinstate
ment is conditioned on several fac
tors, including Manley’s continued
total avoidance of further drug in
volvement and the player’s partici
pation in a structured support pro
gram. Manley must be enrolled in
such a program before he may play
in a game on the weekend of Dec. 9,”
the NFL statement said.
Pirates’ Bonds NL MVP
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Barry
Bonds can tell his kids what his fa
ther could never tell him: that he
was the National League’s Most
Valuable Player.
Like teammate Doug Drabek, who
won the Cy Young Award last week,
Bonds was one vote shy of unani
mous selection on Monday, outpol-
ling Pittsburgh Pirates’ teammate
High school
shotputter
signs with Ags
Aaron Echternacht, the No. 2
returning high school shotputter
in the nation, signed a letter-of-
intent with Texas A&M, Aggie
head coach Ted Nelson said
Monday.
The 6-3, 210-pound thrower
from Titusville, N.J. is ranked
fifth in the country in discus and
posts personal bests of 63-6 3/4 in
the shotput and 177-2 in the dis
cus.
“Aaron has the potential to be
an All-American throughout his
career at A&M,” said Aggie
throwing coach Robert Parker. “I
feel like he will be the best high
school thrower in the country this
spring.”
Bobby Bonilla.
Bonds completed a near sweep of
top NL awards by the Pirates, receiv
ing 23 of 24 first-place votes and 331
of a possible 336 points in voting by
the Baseball Writers’ of America As
sociation. Two writers in each NL
city voted.
Bonilla, who teamed with Bonds
to lead the Pirates to their first NL
East title in 11 years, had the other
first-place vote and 212 points. Dar
ryl Strawberry, the New York Mets’
slugger who recently signed with the
Los Angeles Dodgers, was third with
167 points.
“I wish I could split it and give
half to Bobby,” Bonds said. “I wish I
could share it. To me, he’s just as
much the MVP as I am.”
In addition to Bonds and Drabek
winning awards for the Pirates, Jim
Leyland was voted Manager of the
Year.
Bonds has been compared to his
father, Bobby Bonds, since he pulled
on his first uniform, but this wasn’t a
case of like father, like son. Bobby
Bonds, the former San Francisco Gi
ants’ sidekick of Barry’s godfather,
Willie Mays, never won the MVP
award despite enjoying a record five
seasons with 30 homers and 30 sto
len bases.
Motivated by his father and an
gered by losing his salary arbitration
case last winter, Barry Bonds be
came the first player to bat .300, hit
30 homers, drive in 100 runs and
steal 50 bases.
